Using My Account

The account connected to your Library Card's barcode number is a record of your personal information, including current checkouts and hold requests. Use My Account 24/7 to access account details, manage your borrowing, use advanced features in the Library Catalog, and more.

Managing My Account

A Monroe County Public Library Card is required to use My Account. You don't need to log in to My Account to look for items in the Library Catalog(but it's a good idea—logging in gives you access to lots of handy additional Catalog features).

To access My Account for the first time, go to the My Account login page. Use the barcode number on your Library card and personal identification number (PIN) to log in.

At the time you received your Library card, we may have recommended choosing the last four digits of your phone number as your PIN. If this four-digit number doesn't work, please contact the Library for assistance.

You may continue to log in to My Account using your barcode number and PIN, or you may create your own username and password.

Features

So many great things from the Library to read, watch, and listen to... so little time! Using the My Lists feature in the Library Catalog, you can create customized lists of anything in the Catalog—and come back to them any time. After logging in to My Account, just look for the My Lists block on the left side of the page.

Create or add a list to My Lists

Choose "Working List" to create a temporary list. You can save a Working List at any time by clicking "Show list details" in the My Lists block on the left side of the page. Then just click "Create New Saved Title List" to name and save your Working List.

Choose the name of an existing list to add the item to that list.

Choose "New List" to name and save your new list on the "Create New Saved Title List" page.

Don't see what you're looking for in the Library's collection? You have options! See our Requests and Holds section for more information.

One-on-One Account Help

Staff at any Library location are happy to answer your questions. For security and privacy reasons, you may be required to present a Library card or photo ID in person to access certain account information.

Other Accounts

In addition to My Account, you may be required to set up separate accounts with the Library’s third-party providers in order to use resources like ebooks, streaming media, etc. Each provider determines its own procedures for setting up an account, logging in, and accessing content.
